General dentistry costs in London

General dentistry costs depend on the treatment your mouth needs. This page explains how fees are set at our Primrose Hill practice and what you pay before any treatment is agreed.

A dental consultation is £195 and the fee goes towards your treatment. It includes a clinical examination and in-mouth x-rays; CT scans and OPGs are charged separately.

Led by Dr Ope Sodeinde.

One fixed fee to start, then an itemised quote

  • £195 consultation with a written plan
  • Primrose Hill, London NW1

Why early treatment costs less

A small cavity is a filling. Left for a year it may be a root canal treatment and a crown; left longer, an extraction and a replacement. Putting off the visit is common, and it is the main reason dental bills grow. The general and family dentistry in London we provide is built around catching problems while they are still the cheaper ones.

Preventive visits are the least expensive care we offer: ultrasonic cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, dental sealants to protect the chewing surfaces of back teeth, and fluoride to strengthen enamel that is starting to weaken.

How our pricing works

The consultation fee is fixed. Everything after it is quoted item by item, in writing, before you commit, and the quote is yours to take elsewhere if you wish. You pay only for the treatment the examination shows you need.

Whether you come for one of our dental examinations or for urgent dental abscess treatment, the diagnosis comes first and the quote follows it.
